TheShiver.com talks to Lance Stephenson and Xavier Henry

[Godgivenability]

he's at UC... i have no idea why he chose the bearcats

[tjeffries06]

Sorry KU fans, he's coming to UK.

[fol2005]

Sorry UK fans, he's coming KU.

[dymemamii07]

[peppervalleyfb]

[yungvick100]

imagin this PG sheron collins SG lance stephenson SF xavier henry PF one of the Morris twins and C Cole Aldridge whats the point of evenin playin jus hand em the trophy and start gettin ready for 2011

[BeorgeWGush]

Lance to KU is 0 chance of happening now, he's going to go to Arizona.

[Billips5]

Kansas is going to kill next season

[bigmoney714]

not really

[yungvick100]

its a real chance we (kansas) can get both these players its obvious henry wants to play with his brother and his brother wants to go to kansas because cal didnt play him at memphis and lance doesn't lik loosing so why would he choose maryland their bound to loose at least 12 games no coach wins more then bill self KU fans get ready to rip up the streets again in 2010

[sublimeluva]

KU already has Xavier and CJ. ROCK CHALK BITCHES!

[bigmoney714]

not so fast my friend LOL

[blackice445]

xavier henry or demar derozan?

[goazcats1]

demar derozan b quicker jumps higher play d he better

[RockChalkJhawkGoKU]

i dont know about u guys but kentucky fans are getting really fucking annoying about being back on top. even though theyre not

[PCOBigMac77]

Xavier goes to my highschool he's RAW

[okcboi]

shut up dont worry about how someone else talks

[hawkgwrm]

i'd love to have both of them at kansas. rock chalk jayhawk.

[longhorns6610]

Lance and Xavier both want to go to Kansas. they are waiting for Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collin's choice if they are going to the NBA.

[ImShives]

no they're not... that has nothing to do with it aldrich is a 6'11 center and collins 5'11 point... xavier and lance r both 6'6 Small forwards plus collins and aldrich arent going pro

[RepKan89]

he was just saying they need scholarships. ku was full, but now with appleton and thomas leaving, shits going to get interesting.

[nhardman]

When I've been watching Xavier's highlights he seems to throw up a bunch of garbage shots from his hip. Lance is tougher and he fits Coach Self's style better than Henry.

[fingerbottom]

Believe me, Kansas is very happy that Xavier reopened. Both Lance and Xavier are great prospects and either one (or both) would be appreciated at KU.

[kblj2423]

you can tell lance is from new york haha. anyway hope xavier goes to kentucky man

[nhardman]

i want lance. henry snubbed kansas once already.  stephenson is legit!!

[fol2005]

No way, they are both one and done so we might as well take the better player.

[nhardman]

I prefer players who can create off the dribble and finish strong around the bucket. From what I have seen Lance is better with the rock.

[hanna445]

If Henry heads to Kansas, this team I think will be a national championship team. Collins will probably return, and I think if fhat happens, Aldridge will stay. Add in either Henry, Stephenson, or possibly both, along with Taylor, Mar. Morris, Morningstar, Reid, and new comer Whiltley, this is a national championship team in 2010.

[fol2005]

Henry, Collins, Aldrich, Taylor, Morris is a preseason #1, 2 or 3 team and a favorite to win the national title.

[jackfromkansas]

I think so, too. Aldrich has said that he has a lot to work on before going to the NBA, so I think he will stay. If Henry signs - and it looks like he's going to - I think that Collins will also stay because he and Cole will have a third man. I also expect a lot of development out of all the other players, especially Taylor and Little.

[fol2005]

I don't think either Cole or Collins is ready for the NBA. They've only been starters for a year. But its kind of a tricky situation because if Henry signs, that means Collins isn't going to have near the numbers he would have this year resulting in a lower draft.

I don't think either of them would do anything in the NBA this year anyways so hopefully they stay and develop their game.

[deuce9gohard]

it means sherron will be able to show the nba scouts that he can run an offense. and not only get his. he proved this year that he can score whenever he wants.

[lmc3200]

don't forget, stephenson will be either 6th man like Kaun or he starts over Morris

[jayhawksbball14]

dude your joking right? if stephenson comes to KU, he is a one and done guy. No way in hell he comes off the bench

[RBGdUP]

seriously, the whole born ready "campaign" is just preparatory hype for his jump to the league.

[ChrisMcCain08]

oklahoma city stand up!!

[jackfromkansas]

Now that coach Cal is leaving C-USA, we'll all get to see how good he REALLY is. Memphis is overrated. Because the other C-USA teams are so bad, Memphis goes through the season with a very good record. This makes Cal and the program look better than it actually is, and attracts many of the nations top recruits. The team is actually good because of these recruits, who signed because of Memphis' inflated record. It's a cycle. Memphis benefits so much by how shitty a conference C-USA is.

[jackfromkansas]

Henry and/or Stephenson is coming to KU. That, and if Collins and Aldrich stay, we'll be unstoppable next season. Not to mention our other two commits.

If not both, I hope it's Henry that comes to Kansas, I have to say. Either way, I think Sherron and Cole will stay if they have a third man, and we'll definitely get development out of Taylor, Little and the Morris twins.

The future looks bright for the Jayhawks! Rock Chalk!

[BF2M4st3r]

Don't forget Jeff Withey! 6'11" center.

[jgueary]

can we please get a ku vs uk game next season geez john wall vs sherron collins lol big mismatch john wall couldnt hang wit sherron....cousins vs aldrich...aldrich will own his ass.....then ku is way deeper uk is garbage rock chalk all day

[Mhalvarado1414]

xavier is coming to Kansas

[sblack015]

Funny, jamintube, C.J. still plays at Memphis... The only reason Xavier is leaving is because Calipari is leaving. The only reason he committed to Memphis is because Coach Cal was there, now that Coach Cal is a Cat what do you think X will be?

7>3

1988>1968

Kentucky > Kansas

[fol2005]

"Xavier expressed to me that he want's to be at Kansas. When its all said and done, Kansas is where he will be".

-Xavier Henry's dad this afternoon

[xva232]

Lets see- Xavier Henry isn't not going to UK his dad said so....and Uks only good recuit is opting out of kentucky since Billie G left. Deperation money can get you a coach who blew it in the national title game but it can't buy you recuits.

[whlthem2001]

Please go to College Lance you need to learn how to speak smoother lmao, these high school kids be killing me. They should make speech class mandatory for some ball players. O and stop wiping the invisible sweat off your face and head Lance your not sweating lol.

[ljames171]

Are u tryin to be funny cuzz ur not

[jamintube]

Funny, UK fans, Carl Henry, Xavier's dad was on the local radio in Lawrence saying that Xavier always wanted to go to KU, the only reason he committed to Memphis was to play with his brother. Well, looks like you got the coach that lost to KU, and we are gonna get his prized recruit. Enjoy your horse shit and mediocre basketball.

[ljames171]

HAHAH tru

[RockChalkJhawkGoKU]

i used to like kentucky fans. but now since u have calipari almost all the fans have become so cocky. calipari lost to ku in the finals. remember that? kentucky has been shit for like 10 years.

[SANCTUSREAL4LIFE]

GET READY KU CAUSE HES COMMIN TO THE BLUEGRASS GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!! 7>3 hahahahahaha LETS GO!!!!

[yamaman250f]

GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!

[Phillyfanboy]

Xavier will be wearing crimson and blue!

Rock to the Chalk!

[sblack0015]

rockchalk ur an idiot!

When John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Jodie Meeks, Daniel Orton and..... XAVIER HENRY are wearing UK Blue every team you list will look like the middle school junior varsity girls team that your gayhawks are!

[Simoneyz]

ohhhh okaayyy, wait wait, did you win a national championship last year.........but wait how was the ncaa tournament this year......ohhhhhhhhhh oh yeahh hmmm what does NIT stand for...NOT IN TOURNAMENT! shut your mouth, you can have whatever players you want and you will NEVER be our caliber....ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU

[sublimeluva]

You got a lot of nerve there sblack......just look at the stats. Kentuckey is old news...Xavier and CJ are going to Kansas. Kentucky blew heir chances, Their mojo is gone, Poor souls

[cowsupremacy]

You guys would look great in crimson and blue

[Rockchalkjayhawk35]

ok, kentucky is in a very weak sec. u will c. they will get in if they win the sec. i doubt they go far in the tourny. calipari is a good recruiter, not a good coach. didnt u notice? he had a great team every year,a nd has never won. u will understand what i mean just cuz u get calipari it doesnt mean ur gonna be a top ten team. id put louisville, kansas, duke, north carolina, pitt, clemson, florida state, ou, texas, osu, washington, lsu, villinova, syracuse, and mich state way before UK

[danielmcmullen22]

man go to kuntucky cousins and wall might be as well

[buck2222]

lance stephenson is mad

[Rockchalkjayhawk35]

lol, uk might, MIGHT make the ncaa tourney next year. didnt u c 3 of their recruits this year opted out of their singings. they are screwed. im pretty sure ku will get xavier. they will be in the final 4 next year, and im pretty sure ku has a better coach than kentucky. i mean calipari hasnt ever won a champ!!!!

[Ichron]

Perhaps you should look at why some recruits are decommitting before you say someone is screwed because of it. The school that is screwed from decommits is Memphis, not UK.

If you think UK *might* make the NCAA tournament next year, you really don't understand what is going on. If UK pulls the recruits that are being spoken about, UK has more of a chance of winning the championship than they do of missing the tournament completely. They will be preseason top 10 with the new recruits.

[dpm9h]

I'm really impressed with Xavier Henry's interview. He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders. I especially liked his "follow your dreams" comments.

[CooperEuphonium]

They just got the best coach in the nation and possibly a great recruiting class, so ya they're back on TOP!!!! SO SUCK IT !!!!!!!

[CooperEuphonium]

UK back at the TOP once again

[ImShives]

back at the top?!? haha.. talk shit once u just have made an NCAA tourney

[HighTyto12]

We have, 17 of last 18 years. We missed it with an abusive, psychotic coach. That was a different era. We are BACK. Go Big Blue!!!

[fol2005]

Back at the top? How are they back at the top?

[im4sl4ck3r]

WTF R U SMOKING...UK BLOWS

[32pierce]

Come to UK Xavier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boonedl12]

C'mon Xavier...the Big Blue Nation needs you!

[zzremington]

Go Big blue - Cal and the Cats = Champs and NBA prospects galoire!!
